What the heck did Sen. Ben Nelson vote for ? No one knows what is in the bill even him. There could be anything in it, why does he think its a secret bill ? He needs to use his brains and not his lock step mentallity.

It is in your best interest and your states tom oppose this bill. We the American people do not want this TRASH!You and the President are liars and looking out for special interest groups. I recommend you look at the big picture!

I have a concept that I expressed to Focus Action in Colorado recently. It involves communication through use of contact lists from evangelical organizations such as Focus that likely have tens of thousands of contacts on their lists in Nebraska and Louisiana where senators have done the “cornhusker kickback and new Louisiana purchase”. I can see a message to these stalwarts that have supported Focus, etc. that is signed by leaders in the respective states that challenges folks in a number of ways to stage a vigil with Sen. Nelson and others (possibly Representatives, as well) that says, “rescind this deal with the devil….A strking majority of Americans dont want these unprecidented healthcare changes and 67% of Nebraskans don’t want this as well. We know that you have fought to help Nebraska in the past; but we believe that if you will prayerfully consider what has happened you will see that the deal you agreed to is over the top for a number of reasons. Nebraskans don’t want these changes is reason number one. ON TOP OF NEBRASKANS NOT WANTING THIS CHANGE, WE DONT WANT TO RECEIVE MONEY FROM WASHINGTON IN EXCHANGE FOR OUR REPRESENTATIVE TO VOTE FOR THIS LEGISLATION. Please reconsider based on this petition signed by x number of Nebraskans, and counting, who have signed this internet petition who are askiing you to rescind this agreement to vote for anything close to what has passed the house and the senate in December. We beseech you Sen. Nelson, we don’t want the healthcare changes, we don’t want the “cornhusker kickback” and Sen. Reid’s cynical rationale for taking bribes to vote for this terrible, rushed, secretive, ill considered legislation that outrageously includes a provision to tie the hands of future congresses to change or roll back this “Orwellian disaster”. We have very little time. Please reconsider and reject the favors that you previously agreed to and send a message that “wise men change their minds but fools never do.” Send a message that Nebraska wants no part of these proposed changes and that you will vote no in January.

Please send a copy of this message back to the email listed above for my convenience. Thank you and Godspeed to Nebraska and America in 2010. HBW
